If they want to actively ensure things are backwards compatible for their needs, then they should step up and actively fund + participate in development. So if we're somehow /still/ supporting gcc-2.8.1 because -core decided that we should support it - please step up and tell us why and who. Otherwise, let's keep pushing forward to at least the busted old gcc we /do/ support, with an eye towards the future. -adrian
